Inlet Air Supply
The user’s air supply connection is made at the rear of the Model JD cabinet. A 150 lb ½ inch ANSI RF
flange (1) and air block valve (2) are provided for connection to the user’s air supply piping. The ¼ turn ball
valve provides ON-OFF air flow control to the oil mist generator head for servicing. The inlet air enters
through the back of the JD Oil Mist Generator cabinet. Air is conditioned through an inline filter / air pressure
regulator (3) as it feeds the oil mist generating head (4). A pressure gauge (5) indicates the inlet air supply
pressure. The Regulated Air Pressure Transducer (6) monitors the regulated air pressure being applied to
the mist-generating head. The transducer is connected to the JD microprocessor control for local and remote
monitoring of the regulated air pressure.
The incoming air supply to the mist generator is controlled using a manually operated air pressure regulator.
The air pressure regulator adjusts and controls the airflow through the mist head by controlling the inlet air
pressure. Once the oil mist system has been commissioned, only minor adjustments to the regulated air
pressure are needed to maintain proper system operation. The regulated air pressure transducer is located
on the oil mist generating head. It is a two-wire 4-20 mA output pressure transducer. It is connected to the
JD controller with an integral flexible cord. The transducer provides the signal for the high regulated air
pressure alarm and the low regulated air pressure alarm. During operation the signal is used to provide an
operating value for the regulated air pressure.

Mist Generating Head With Air / Oil Heater
The oil mist generating head is mounted on top of the mist generating reservoir. The mist head features an
inline air heater element for heating and maintaining the air supply at a controlled temperature. The air
heater element is installed through the top of the mist head body (a block of machined aluminum) and
attaches with a ½ NPT thread. The heater cartridge extends into a second manifold made of machined
aluminum rod.
Mist Pressure Transducer
A solid state pressure transducer is used to monitor the pressure of the mist distribution system. This
variable is referred to as Mist Pressure. The mist pressure transducer is mounted on top of the bulk supply
reservoir. It is a two-wire 4-20 mA output pressure transducer. The mist pressure transducer is connected to
the JD controller with a flexible cord. Through the controller, the transducer monitors the mist header
pressure and gives a high and low alarm signal.
Air Heater Control and Cutout Sensors
The heater manifold extends into the oil reservoir to a point below the oil level. As oil is drawn into the mist
generator head, the oil passes through a drilled port in the heater manifold. In this manor, the air heater
element not only heats the air, but also heats the oil being generated into oil mist. A type K thermocouple
senses the air temperature as it exits the heater manifold to provide the temperature control and high – low
alarm signal. A second type K thermocouple is installed in the air stream as it exits the heater manifold to
function as a high temperature heater cutout. The JD controller maintains the air temperature to the oil mist
generating head. The controller produces a DC voltage output signal to control a solid state non-arcing relay
for switching power to the heater element.
The heater element is interlocked through the JD controller with the low air pressure alarm. The heater is
inoperable if the regulated air pressure is set lower than the low alarm set-point. This ensures that air is
flowing over the element before power is applied.

Oil Supply Connection
The Model JD is equipped with a bulk oil fill connection located at the rear of the equipment cabinet. The oil
level in the main oil mist generator is maintained automatically. As oil mist is generated and dispensed out of
the JD, the oil level in the mist generating reservoir drops. The JD controller receives a signal from a level
sensor when the oil level drops to a determined level. The controller then energizes a DC voltage solenoid
operated oil valve. Oil from a pressurized external source fills the mist generating reservoir until the switch
signals the controller to de-energize the solenoid valve.
A ¾” NPT female connection is provided for attaching the user’s oil supply line. The oil supply connects to a
¾” NPT block valve. Oil then passes through an inline filter before entering the cabinet and the oil solenoid
valve. As oil is sent to the mist generating reservoir it must overcome a 10 PSI check valve. This check
valve maintains the operability of the unit while servicing the oil solenoid valve.
The Model JD is also equipped with a manual oil fill connection located on the front of the reservoir. In case
of loss of power, oil can be added to the mist generating reservoir.
The level switch assembly mounts through the top of the reservoir.

Oil Mist Generator Controller
The JD Oil Mist Generator includes instrumentation to monitor its operation. The operation of the oil mist
generator is energized through a disconnect switch. In the JD Oil Mist Generator four process variables are
monitored. If any monitored variable exceeds a predetermined high limit, or decreases below a
predetermined low limit, a fault signal is provided. The monitored operating variables are:
Regulated Air Supply Pressure
Air Temperature (Air / Oil Heater)
Reservoir Oil Level
Mist Header Pressure
The JD solid-state controller provides all monitoring and control functions. Segregation of power voltage
(>30 VAC / 60 VDC) and control voltage (<30 VAC / 60 VDC) is provided by separate enclosures. All
components in the power voltage enclosure are non-arcing. The enclosure is a stainless steel NEMA type 12
enclosure. Power connections for the air/oil heater element and the red and green status lights are made in
the power voltage enclosure. Both circuits are fused. Power to the heater is switched on/off using a non-
arcing solid state relay. Switching between the red and green status lights is done using a relay with
hermetically sealed contacts. A transformer located in the power voltage enclosure provides 24VAC supply
to the low voltage controller.
The control voltage enclosure contains microprocessor controlled P/C circuitry for polling the input signals of
all peripheral sensors, transmitters and thermocouples. The input signals are interpreted by the
microprocessor to perform control and alarm function for the JD Oil Mist Generator. User accessible keypad
and liquid crystal displays are accessible from the front operator compartment. All circuits in and connected
to the control voltage enclosure are non-incendive.
